No, there are no plans to make actual xen kernel image debs at this time.
One, there's no way I can possible handle all the various configuration
options. Someone will always want it different.
Two, if I produce actual kernel images, then anytime a security problem is
found in the linux kernel, xen would have to be recompiled by the security
team. I do not want to place additional load on them.
The patch s/b good enough.

Apply the patch, either by hand, or by using make-kpkg to automatically apply
it.

That has nothing specific to do with debian. The only change I do from
upstream, is I don't fetch pristine source, but fetch the debian patched
kernel source, then unapply the debian patch, to get pristine. I then make
that tree available as pristine-linux-2.6.10, to fake out the top-level
Makefile, then call linux-2.6.10-xen.patch.
